That’s close enough mate! Neighbor taking a close-up of the local moose

This young Moose (Alces alces) female is wandering around in the area, mostly trimming the wild tree buds – but occasionally also helping herself to some of the more exotic and delicious shrubs in the gardens around here. And she isn’t very much afraid. In fact, one of the neighbors came driving home today, but she wouldn’t move, so he had to park down by the road and take a detour to get up to his house. The other neighbor wanted to take a close up, and walked near enough for her to raise her leg in warning that he was close enough. One shouldn’t be afraid of these animals – but they demand to be respected and kept at a distance. A kick from the fore legs can easily be deadly. Usually they don’t attack, unless you startle them, come between a cow and her calves or are perceived as a challenge from one of the bulls during mating season.

The Norwegian female Moose is usually between 180 and 210 centimeters tall (shoulder height) and weighs between 200 and 400 kg. The bull is about 190 and 220 centimeters and weighs 200 to 600 kg.

Their fantastic ability to digest cellulose through an intricate system of bowl enzymes has been studied so that the same enzymes could be used to produce sustainable biofuels from wood.

I suffer from insomnia due to chronic pain. That is most times a disadvantage – but not always. Walking around at night trying to concentrate the pain away mentally sometimes make me grab my camera to find a moment of Photo Zen… A couple of nights ago I captured this photo of Narvik and the newly installed light-show on the new hotel downtown. I posted it in the local Facebook-group Narvik før og nå (Narvik in the past and now, loosely translated). It gained a quite surprising and enormous popularity, so I thought that would be a good cherry picked candidate for my blog. Here it is! Enjoy!

Sleepless in Narvik – The newly installed light show on the new hotel downtown reflects in the harbor basin.

Special Friends with Special Talents

Øystein Lunde
Ingvaldsen
- My friend Øystein is a brilliant photographer, musician
and teacher. He is much sought after by TV-stations, and latest he told
me that National Geographic had called him. We can't wait to hear how
that plays out. Øystein lives in what msut be described as
one of the most beautiful places in The Entire World: Bø
(Boe) in Vesteraalen. That paired with Øysteins talent for
capturing the nature out there through a camera lens makes for some
breathtaking photos.

Elizabeth
Elming (Singer/Songwriter)
- My friend, Elizabeth Elming has
got a voice that makes your heart reverberate!
Visit her homepage and listen to her voice! Rich, sensual and crystal

about the term "singing" the same way again, after having heard
Elizabeth - "The Golden Voice of Canada". Enjoy!

Améthyste Lyne
Langdeau-Spardel
Améthyste sings like an angel - or at least like I imagine
an angel would sing - had I ever met one.
She's got a fabulous voice that just must have been created back in
time with a very generous pinch of
divine inspiration and talent sprinkled over her vocal cords, enabling
her sending the very essence of her
through her songs to all of us around the globe!

Kjetil
Karlsen (Photographic Artist)
-My friend Kjetil is a true master of Photography. Just as much as they
are paint strokes and moods of the extrovert world they are also
journeys to the introvert universe - question marks in time and space.
Kjetil writes "A sensing photo artist. I regard myself as a
photographer that conveys feelings. It is the feelings we humans posses
- bad or good"

Jack Lihaug (Photographic
Artist)
- My friend Jack lives in Bø i Vesterålen
(Boe in Vesteraalen). It is a
really beautiful part of Norway (my favorite by far!) And beautiful

amazing and fantastic results. Please click on Jack's name to go to his
